HEATING APPARATUS.

Application filed May 29,

This invention relates to an improved heating apparatus and it has more particular reference to one which is especially designed for heating air to be conducted in a somewhat conventional manner through appropriate piping and registers to the rooms of a;-domestic dwelling.

Thelnvention has reference, broadly, to

an improved casing adapted to accommodate, for instance, gas burners, each of which is provided with its own conducting pipe for the products of combustion, this being so arranged as to provide a tortuous passage and iradiating surfaces for the contacting air, wherebyit will be effectively heated and distributed into the room.

It is my principalobject to generally improve upon structures of this class by providing one including novel details arranged for the front wall.

in a novel'manner for subjecting the air to an exceptionally efficient course, so that it will be positively heated before escape into the room.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a view showing the invention with a portion broken away and shown in section disclosing internal construction more plainly.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through the same. I

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the reference character 12 designates a rectangular casing having a frusto-conical top 13, fines 141,. and air con ducting pipes 15. At the bottom are appropriate draft regulator doors 16 for the burners 17. It will be noted that I employ three burners, one for each side wall and one Thus, it becomes neces sary to form three separate compartments for these burners. Itfollows that on each burner equipped wall, we find a metal burner housing 18 which is of somewhat elongated form and provided. with a frustoconical top wall. Then extending upwardly from the flattened apex portion of the top wall is a combustion and gas conducting pi )e or tube 19.

eferring to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the tube extends upwardly in close proximity to the four walls of the casing. thus providing a plurality of superposed sul stantially square convolutions, and it com- 1925. Serial No. 112,684.

munica-tes at its top with its respective flue. It Wlll also be noticed from this figure thatlnasmuch as there are three upwardly ex.-

tending tubes 19, it is necessary to so bendcomes into direct contact with the coils of the several sets of tubes, thus taking up the heat by way of radiation and absorption, and escaping through the usual hot air conducting conduit.

It is obvious that the entering cold air never takes up any of the products of com bustion or gases, and while I am aware of the fact that this feature of construction is not new, it is believed that the particular arrangement of the heat conductors is new. Therefore, the alleged novelty of the invention will be clear upon considering the ac companying claim.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention. it is to be understood that minor changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of the details may be resorted to within the field of invention covered by the claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim asnew is: V I

In a heating apparatus of the class described, a substantially rectangular casing. a hot air conducting pipe connected with the top of the casing, a plurality of burners disposed in the lower portion of the casing and associated with said front and side walls thereof, a substantially frusto-conical jacket for each burner, and a combustion and gas conducting tube connected with the flattened apex portion of each jacket, these tubes being coiled upwardly through the casing and the branches of the coils being disposed in proximity to the interior of the walls of the casing, and each tube being connected at its top with a flue, the coils of the several sets being arranged in nested relation.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
